FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a technical field of building material, and particularly to a partitioning device for building.

DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART

Nowadays, the clean room has been widely used in precision industry, electronic industry, and pharmaceutics industry and etc. Generally, the clean room is configured with a ceiling system, an air conditioning system, a partition wall, floor, and lighting system. The extent of sealing of the ceiling system is one key factor to determine the classification of the cleanroom can be rated. The existing ceiling system typically includes a ceiling rod, an I-beam or U-beam, a ceiling grid, and a blind disk. The ceiling grid is interconnected section by section, and then is hung over the ceiling floor by means of individual cable. And the blind disk is hung over supporting tables from every two adjacent ceiling grids with its own weight. In addition, in order to increase the sealing between the blind disk and the ceiling grid, weather strip can be arranged between the blind disk and the ceiling grids, the overall weight of the blind disk will press the weather strip against those tabs of the ceiling grids. However, since the blind disk is hung over the ceiling floor, it is limited to a certain weight, and in general it is comparably light-weighted. As a result, the sealing result between the blind disks and the ceiling grids are poor. It may further affect the positioning effect between the blind disk and the ceiling grids. In addition, because of the poor sealing therebetween, particulates may enter the cleanroom from those slits between the blind disk and the ceiling grid. As a result, the cleaning rate of the cleanroom will be affected.

On the other hand, the partitioning device and its supporting fixture also share the same problems.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In order clearly explain the technology of the embodiment illustrated in the present invention, a brief and concise description will be given along with the accompanied drawings. Apparently, the embodiments illustrated in the drawings are merely some typical embodiments and which can be readily modified by the skilled in the art without any additional laborious efforts so as to transform them into other drawings.

Referring now to FIG. 1, an exploded or unassembled of parts of a partitioning device made in accordance with the present invention. As shown, the partitioning device generally includes a first supporting fixture 10, a second supporting fixture 10, and a partitioning board 30.

The first supporting fixture 10 generally includes a first base beam 101, and a pair of first skirts 102 extending upward from longitudinal sides of the first base beam 101. The second supporting fixture 20 has a similar configuration as the first supporting fixture 10, and includes a second base beam 201, and a pair of second skits 202 extending upward from longitudinal sides. The first skirt 102 and the second skirt 202 are spaced from each other. The partitioning board 30 includes a main board 301, and a pair of third and fourth skirts 302 and 303 extending downward from longitudinal sides of the main board 301.

In the present embodiment, the first and second supporting fixtures 10 and 20 are served as the ceiling grids as discussed above, and the partitioning board 30 is served as the blind disk. The first and second supporting fixtures 10 and 20 are arranged in parallel such that the main board 301 of the partitioning board 30 can be bridged or spanned over those two first and second fixtures 10 and 20. This arrangement or combination can make the first and second fixtures 10 and 20, along with the partitioning board 30 becomes a proper or perfect ceiling system for the cleanroom and other buildings. Alternatively, the first and second fixtures 10 and 20, and the partitioning board 30 can be embodied or implemented with other configuration.

In the present invention, and as shown and described above, the first and second skirts 102, 202 of the first and second base beams 101 and 201; and the third and fourth skirts 302 and 303 of the main board 301 are all arranged along its longitudinal sides. In addition, the first skirt 102 is substantially perpendicular to the first base beam 101; while the second skirt 202 is substantially perpendicular to the second base beam 201. The third skirt 302 is substantially perpendicular to the main board 301, while it is tilted outward with an angle “a1”; the fourth skirt 303 is substantially perpendicular to the main board 301, while it is tilted outward with an angle “a2”. In the present embodiment, the internal span L1 between the third and fourth skirts 302 and 303 is slightly smaller than an internal span L2 between the first skirt 101 and the second skirt 201. In the preferred embodiments, the angles “a1” and “a2” of the first and second skirts 101 and 201 range between 0.5 to 1 degree. According to the preferable embodiments, the first and second angles “a1” and “a2” equal to each other. It is feasible that the first and second angles can be arranged according to field requirements. In addition, the positions of the first, second, third and fourth skirts 101, 201, 302 and 303 can be also arranged at other proper position.

Referring now to FIGS. 2 and 3, when parts of the partitioning device are assembled together, specially, FIG. 3 illustrates an enlarged view of an encircled portion A shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the partitioning board 30 is pressed downward against to the first and second fixtures 10 and 20 in a way such that the first skirt 102 and the second skirt 202 will be slightly deformed outwardly so as to interengage with the third and fourth skirts 302 and 303. As a result, the positioning board 30 is securely and tightly articulated between the first and second supporting fixtures 10 and 20.

By this kind of flexible and secure interengagment between the first skirt 102 and the third skirt 302, and the second skirt 202 and the fourth skirt 303, the positioning board 30 is properly interengaged with the first and second fixtures 10 and 20. Since both the first and second skirts 102 and 202, and the third and fourth skirts 302 and 303 are slightly deformed between they are engaged, their interengagement is much stronger than the interengagement by means of its own weight as prior art does. Even if the first and second fixtures 10 and 20 are slightly deformed, the interengagement between the first and second skirts 102, 202 and the third and fourth skirts 302 and 303 are still strong and reliable. In addition, in order to enhance the sealing effect, a first weather strip 40 is arranged between the first and third skirts 102 and 302, and a second weather strip 50 is arranged between the second and fourth skirts 202 and 303. The thickness of the first and second weather strip 40 and 50 is preferably selected around 5 minimeters, and it can be made from rubber material, foam material or any other suitable sealing material.

By the provision of the first and second weather strips 40 and 50, the interengagement between the first and third skirts 102 and 302, and the second and fourth skirts 202 and 303 are further enhanced and secured as the weather strips 40 and 50 are properly sandwiched therebetween. Since the space between first and third skirts 102 and 302, and the second and fourth skirts 202 and 303 are completely stuffed with the weather strips 40 and 50, there is no way that the particles and particulates may pass therethrough. The cleaning rating of the cleanroom is therefore secured.

By the provision of the flexible first and second skirts 102 and 202 on the first and second fixtures 10 and 20, and the third and fourth skirts 302 and 303 of the partitioning board 30, a reliable, strong and secure interengagement is reached and realized. In addition, since the interengagement is thorough and complete, the overall structure is preferably enhanced. In addition, the provision of the weather strips 40 and 50 will further enhance the sealing arrangement to reach a substantial air-tight effect. Accordingly, by using the partitioning device provided by the present invention, the rating of cleanness of the cleanroom is further guaranteed and ensured.
